  • FIG. 1 is an exploded diagram showing the embodiment of the present disclosure;
  • FIG. 2 is another exploded diagram showing the embodiment of the present disclosure;
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing an embodiment of the present disclosure;
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the linear actuator shown in FIG. 3.
    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENT
  • Please refer to FIG. 1-4. An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a linear actuator. The linear actuator includes a housing 100, a motor 200, a decelerator 300 and an actuating rod 400.
  • In the present embodiment, the housing 100 includes an outer sleeve 110, a motor sleeve 120, a connecting sleeve and four motor bolts 140 (the number of the motor bolt 140 is an example rather than a limitation to the present disclosure). The outer sleeve 110, the connecting sleeve 130 and the motor sleeve 120 are coaxially assembled. The connecting sleeve 130 includes an actuating end 131 and a driving end 132 opposing to the actuating end 131. A bearing 500 is arranged in the actuating end 131 of the connecting sleeve 130, and the actuating end 131 of the connecting sleeve 130 is bolted with one end of the outer sleeve 110 by four connecting bolts 133 (the number of the connecting bolt is an example rather than a limitation to the present disclosure). The connecting sleeve 130 is longitudinally penetrated by the connecting bolt 133, the connecting bolt 133 inserted into the driving end 132 and reaching the actuating end 131, and the connecting bolt 133 is further bolted to the outer sleeve 110. A pivot 121 is arranged on one end of the motor sleeve 120, and the driving end 132 of the connecting sleeve 130 is connected to the other end of the motor sleeve 120. Each motor bolt penetrates the pivot 121, further longitudinally penetrates the wall of the motor sleeve 120, and consequently bolts on the driving end 132 of the connecting sleeve 130
  • The motor 200 and the decelerator 300 are both arranged in the motor sleeve 120. The decelerator 300 includes a planet gear group (the planet gear group is not shown in drawings). The planet gear group is connected to the motor 200 and thereby driven by the motor 200. The decelerator 300 is arranged in a transition sleeve 310. In the present embodiment, the transition sleeve 310 is bolted with the decelerator 300 by four bolts 311 (the number of the bolt is not a limitation to the present disclosure). Moreover, the transition sleeve 310 is inserted in the driving end 132 of the connecting sleeve 130.
  • The actuating rod 400 is movably inserted in the outer sleeve 110. The actuating rod 400 includes a slide tube 410, and an actuating screw rod 420 is inserted in the slide tube 410. An actuating nut 430 is arranged on one end of the slide tube 410, and a pivoting hole 411 is arranged on the other end of the slide tube 410. The actuating screw rod 420 is screwed into the actuating nut 430. The outer wall of the actuating nut 430 is engaged with the inner wall of the outer sleeve 110. Thereby, the actuating nut 430 is axially movable arranged in the outer sleeve 110. Besides, the actuating nut 430 is axially non-rotatable. The actuating screw rod 420 is inserted in the bearing 500 and further power-transmissibly connected to the planet gear group in the decelerator 300 through the connecting sleeve 130. Thereby, the actuating screw rod 420 could be axially rotated by the motor 200 to drive the slide tube 410 axially slide in the outer sleeve 110.
  • The linear actuator of the present disclosure is applied to actuate furniture (e.g. bed board of a sickbed or door). The pivot 121 and the pivoting end 411 of the actuating rod 410 are pivoted to two individual elements in the furniture. Thereby, the motor 200 could drive the actuating rod 400 axially slide in the outer sleeve 110.
  • According to the present disclosure, the motor 200 and the decelerator 300 are located in the outer sleeve 110, and the actuating rod 400 is located in the motor sleeve 120. The outer sleeve 110 and the motor sleeve 120 are connected by the connecting sleeve 130, wherein the outer sleeve 100 is connected to the connecting sleeve 130 by the connecting bolts 133, and the motor sleeve 120 is connected to the connecting sleeve 130 by the motor bolts 140. Thereby, the linear actuator of the present disclosure could be simply assembled by the connecting bolts 133 and the motor bolts 140. Moreover, the motor bolt 140 longitudinally penetrates the connecting sleeve 130 to firmly connect the motor sleeve 120 and the connecting sleeve 130. Therefore, the linear actuator of the present disclosure could be firmly assembled by simple structure.
  • Although the present disclosure has been described with reference to the foregoing embodiment, it will be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to the details thereof. Various equivalent variations and modifications can still occur to those skilled in this art in view of the teachings of the present invention. Thus, all such variations and equivalent modifications are also embraced within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
